Ankara Travel Guide

Museum of Anatolian Civilizations

The museum which charts the history of Asia Minor is housed in a
lovely 15th-century restored building (originally a market and
caravanserai) close to the centre of Ankara, and is the ideal place
to visit for anyone intending to travel through Turkey, delving
into the past. It is filled with fascinating collections of
archaeological finds, from monolithic statues to delicate
jewellery, including some from Catal Huyuk, believed to be the
earliest known human social community in the world. From the
Palaeolithic and Neolithic, and through all the great civilizations
since, this museum is like a time machine for antiquity buffs.
